I always love hearing what beauty products celebrities can’t live without. Sarah Jessica Parker’s answer will probably surprise you: It’s lip gloss! But not just any lip gloss — her all-time fave is an iconic drugstore formula.

In an interview with AirMail, Parker revealed she can’t go without CoverGirl Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper Gloss in shade Blingtastic, an early 2000s-coded rose gold shimmer. You can take the girl out of Sex and the City, but you can’t take the Sex and the City out of the girl.

With early aughts makeup trends coming back into style, it’s only a matter of time before you see people rocking this frosty lip gloss. It does have a lot more going for it than its shimmery color, though. Unlike the sticky glosses that ruled the early 2000s, this formula feels soft and nourishing on lips because it’s infused with hyaluronic acid, acai and gogi-berry extract.

The CoverGirl lip gloss also provides a slight plumping effect that doesn’t sting. You’ll experience a refreshing cooling sensation that’s much more enjoyable to wear. The lip glosses of the early 2000s could never!

SJP is far from the only fan of the gloss, either. CVS shoppers say this multi-tasker is essentially “glass lips” in a tube. “I’m on my second tube now, and I love it,” one customer wrote. “It gives glassy lips, a subtle plump, and feels like a minty ice cube on my lips. It feels so different from other plumpers. I’ve tried Maybelline’s plumper and that felt like pain. These can be a little shocking at first, but then they just feel so cool and refreshing, like a sip of mint lemonade on a hot summer’s day.”

Even lip gloss haters will fall in love with CoverGirl Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper Gloss, and at its affordable price, it’s really tough to beat. Thank SJP for the recommendation!
